"There is every race, religion and culture found at Weber State." Matthew Weeks, natural science senator, and Robert Nelson, social science senator, said they liked the intent of the bill but said it restricts the freedom of speech to senate members. "When we took the oath, at the beginning of the year, we voted to support the Constitution," Nelson said. "This could be an issue for the Supreme Court. "I am not a citizen of this country and I did not vote to support the Constitution," Al-Qirim said. He said the purpose of the bill is not to restrict the freedom of speech but to limit senate activities to campus issues. "We should not take a stand on the issue of abortion, for instance," he said.

The recycling movement, originally started by the campus chapter of the national environment group Cool it! was set in motion a year ago during Earth Week '90. Aluminum can receptacles were distributed around campus, but "... because of bureaucracy, (Cool it!) gave (the program) to VIP because we had the funding and resources to do it," said Quinn Richins, student director of VIP. However, the time and effort required to keep the recycling effort alive on campus has proven to be a bigger project than VIP expected.
